ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Jlf, those figures can't be right. Remember about 2-3 years ago that the "Left" was telling us that there were "millions" of Iraqis killed? Actually, those figures are from a website that even has the breakdown of incidents where these people were killed. Your so called Left wing group that was claiming millions were dead was led by that woman who was protesting outside Bush's ranch in Texas. From the first site: 95,888 – 104,595 webpage Iraq Family Health Survey 151,000 violent deaths. June 2006 Lancet survey 601,027 violent deaths out of 654,965 excess deaths. June 2006 Opinion Research Business survey 1,033,000 violent deaths as a result of the conflict. August 2007 Associated Press 110,600 violent deaths April 2009 World Health Organization 151,000 Iraqi civilians were killed in bomb attacks and other violence Iraq Index: Tracking Variables of Reconstruction & security in Post- Saddam Iraq (654 KB) Date Range of Study: Mar. 19, 2003-Apr. 24, 2008 Source: Brookings Institution Apr. 24, 2008 104,317 (5/03-04/27/08) Documented Civilian Deaths from Violence Date Range of Study: Jan. 1, 2003-May 20, 2008 84,040 - 91,703 As you can see, the average is well below 1 million Iraqis killed
